12 THE BOMB While one of our professors was demonstrating a problem of mathe- matics in a manner more satisfactory to himself than to the class, one of us kindly volunteered to throw some light in the professor ' s face by means of a looking-glass, the room at that time being rather dark, whereupon the ungrateful professor remarked, If you want to throw any light on this subject just step up to the board. Let us draw the curtain. Notwithstanding this and many similar adventures, we still looked upon ourselves as a model class, and none attempted to un- deceive us, till alas! one fatal night, December i6th, sixteen of us proved plainly that we were only human — verily more than this — proved that we might be wrought upon by Love; for, having gotten per- mits to go to the Y. M. C. A. m.eeting, we proceeded to taste of the sweets of Love ' s Labor Lost, but it was a bitter sweet. We did not notice the lapse of time, and when we got back, behold it was after taps. For this we lost four months of liberty and went out of the model class business — it did not pay. On the matrimonial line we have not done anything very startling. This is not because we can ' t, but because we won ' t. Our dude, Lord B., is just grand at this, and we may lose Jiim even yet. We claim also to have the greatest of living curiosities — even the Siamese Twins. They are bound together by a bond of mutual worthlessness and there is no difference hardly, except one has a little down on his upper Hp, and down is the normal condition of the other. Repeated attempts have been made to purchase them at prices varying from two pies to a schofield, but we will not part with them — no, not for twice such a price as this. As engineers, our progress has been great. Machines have been de- signed so fearfully and wonderfully made that the. world will never be able to utilize them.. For example, one of us has already built a Howe Truss out of fiddle-sticks. But our end is at hand, and the annals of the V. M. I. will no longer be graced, or disgraced by our deeds. W must go into the world ; if we fail, on us be the dishonor, and not on our Alma Mater. Ja.s. D. W. Rn, Historian.
